'Cause my legs are hanging off the end of this one from my calf muscles down and the cramp's starting to set in.
Moron. What did you expect ? You're 6 foot 6 and these things aren't built to that length.
OK, shouldn't get stroppy but must have been locked in this position here for a while if I'm going lactic. Lost track 'casue concentrating on breathing's my reason for existing just now.
Can't breathe deeply enough without pain and the strange sensation that there's something solid stopping me.
Nurse comes over. Didn't get her name but things are happening, the Doc's on the way and I'll need to get into X-ray.
She checks me over. Say's there's a "a couple of drops" of blood on the back of myT-shirt and lifts it to check.
Pause, calls Jules over.
"Did you know that was there ?".
What was where ? I have visions of ribs looking at open air.
Jules comes back 'round. Looks grey/green/white and her face has reduced to three black circles of two eyes and an open mouth.
Pause.
"There's a piece of glass sticking out of your back."
Nurse goes into high gear.
"We can't tell how big it is and we can't take it out because we don't know how far it goes in or if it's hit anything and is plugging it up. I'll get the Doctor over now".
Jules squeezes my hand.
"It's going to be allright"
I'm not so sure
